Default Airworthiness Inspection

In August of 2006 I order the preview plans, then the tail kit. It has been a very long haul to get to this point. Some of that time was taken by the military who seemed to want me flying overseas, but mostly I am just a slow builder.

Anyway today the DAR came by and seemed to think my aircraft is airworthy, on to test flight.
